What is the correct synthetic oil change interval?

Why is it possible to extend the synthetic oil change interval?


It’s generally understood that the synthetic oil change interval can be extended compared to regular oils; but what should the correct synthetic oil change interval be?

We all understand that we need to change oil: Whether it’s in the chip fryer or in our car engines! But What is the correct synthetic oil change interval? And why does it need changing in our cars?

Industrial synthetic oils can solve problems.

Industrial synthetic oils can solve problems that regular oils can’t.


Although mineral lubricants can work in many applications industrial synthetic oils can solve problems that these oils were never designed to cope with. Whenever there’s a problem with a piece of industrial equipment that touches on lubrication, the smart money inevitably believes that industrial synthetic oils can solve problems. But what are the facts? What can reasonably be expected of the performance of synthetic industrial oils?

What is synthetic motor oil?

The explanation of what is synthetic motor oil.

What is synthetic motor oil? Everyone should know that it’s an artificial oil! Well; right and wrong. Strange it may seem there are also mineral lubricants that are classified as synthetic motor oils.

Synthetic base stocks are man-made and tailored to have a controlled molecular structure with predictable properties, unlike mineral base oils, which are complex mixtures of naturally occurring hydrocarbons.

What is the classification of base oils used in lubricants?

How is the classification of base oils used in lubricants made?



The API classification of base oils used in lubricants is the most important determinant of an oil’s performance: But how is the classification of the base stock oils made? In order to fully understand base oil definition we also have to look at the evolution of lubricant base oils.
